Piscatrix
Foot-deep in wet flowers and grasses,
O playmate of sunshine and shade!
What song has the stream as it passes?
What song does it sing to its maid?
O playmate of sunshine and shade!
What song has the stream as it passes?
What song does it sing to its maid?
Does it sing of the hills left behind it?
Does it sing of the moorland and mist?
Of the mosses that break it and bind it,
Of flowers that its waters have kissed?
Does it sing of the moorland and mist?
Of the mosses that break it and bind it,
Of flowers that its waters have kissed?
Does it sing how it runs to the river?
Shall it greatly delight it to be
With the waters that murmur for ever
To the death of the depths of the sea?
Shall it greatly delight it to be
With the waters that murmur for ever
To the death of the depths of the sea?
